It’s never too late to learn — beginner bodhran courses

Galway Advertiser, Thu, Sep 10, 2015

Most households around the country have an old bodhran lying around in a closet somewhere or hanging on a wall. However, most of the people in possession of a bodhran do not know how to play it. Well that is all about to change with Funky Drums Bodhran courses running in the city centre.

The bodhran is a great sounding drum which is not too difficult to play once you are taught the right way. It has become a hugely popular addition to the trad scene and is enjoying a massive resurgence in Ireland today, with more people realising that it is simply a brilliant and highly rewarding instrument to play.

All ages are catered for within these new classes, which are for the complete beginner who has never played before and wants to start out in an encouraging, relaxed, fun environment.

The classes are all group lessons, are very social, and super fun. There is an organised trad session every month for all the students to apply what they learn in the classes, have the craic, and enjoy a few beverages.

All bodhrans are provided and courses are starting soon. Book your place by calling Brian on 087 125915, email [email protected].
